I'll do the first, you do the next one the same way.



The slope of this line is .
Now find the slope of the second line.
If they're parallel,

If they're perpendicular to each other,

Else choose neither.

Give the slope of each line and then determine whether the two lines are​ parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular.
5x+4y=8
20x+16y=0
5x + 4y = 8 ------- eq (i)
20x + 16y = 0 ----- eq (ii)
5x + 4y = 0 ------- Dividing eq (ii) by 4 ------ eq (iii)
Now look at eqs (iii) & (i). When you SUBTRACT one from the other, what do you get? This will determine your answer.
OR
Just find each slope and compare them!
